Good Points
Styling. Air con, alloys, colour-coding and long service intervals.
Bad Points
Uninspiring drive. Poor fitting interior trim. Niggling little faults.
General Comments
Good value new purchase, £11,500 with 3 years interest-free finance. Cheap to insure (group 6). Love the exterior styling and colour-coded paint and alloys. Like the high driving position and CD. Don't like the poor fit and finish, trim that is rattly, seat fabric that detaches itself at whim, indicator stalks that are as fragile as eggshells, vibrations at 2,500 revs, horn that works only when it wants to. Uninspiring handling and performance. I'm going for a BMW 3 series next when this is 3 years old.
